I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
WhatsApp
Copy
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
WhatsApp
Copy
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
WhatsApp
Copy
O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee.
WhatsApp
Copy
Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
WhatsApp
Copy
Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.
WhatsApp
Copy
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children.
WhatsApp
Copy
For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
WhatsApp
Copy
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
WhatsApp
Copy
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
WhatsApp
Copy
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
WhatsApp
Copy
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
WhatsApp
Copy
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
WhatsApp
Copy
Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
WhatsApp
Copy
Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
WhatsApp
Copy
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
WhatsApp
Copy
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
WhatsApp
Copy
Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.
WhatsApp
Copy
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
WhatsApp
Copy
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
WhatsApp
Copy
Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
WhatsApp
Copy
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
WhatsApp
Copy
Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
WhatsApp
Copy
Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
WhatsApp
Copy
For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
WhatsApp
Copy
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
WhatsApp
Copy
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
WhatsApp
Copy
But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
WhatsApp
Copy
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
WhatsApp
Copy
This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
WhatsApp
Copy
The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
WhatsApp
Copy
For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
WhatsApp
Copy
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
WhatsApp
Copy
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
WhatsApp
Copy
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Psalms 69 Study & Commentary
Psalm 69 is a Messianic psalm of deep distress. It describes the Sufferer being hated without a cause and given gall and vinegar to drink, themes applied to Christ.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Hated Without Cause: Injustice is part of the believer's experience, as it was for Christ (v. 4).2. Zeal for God’s House: "The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up" (v. 9). Passion for God should be our consuming fire.
